V4 CARE ARSEC

With the support of theInternational Visegrad Fund, GARI launched a new project in May 2018. The V4-CARE-ARSEC project is designed as a regional step to establishing an interdisciplinary research centre that aims to alter the ways we understand regional and global processes and globalization. Throughout the research, we will combine pioneering ways of analysing (big) data on flows, interactions and political & regulatory frameworks. We will work to develop a new analytical foundation, usable in real-world policy-making and business decisions. In the long run, our approach has the potential to enhance our capacities to assess the impact of globalisation on the capabilities of governments and institutions to manage the effects of globalization.

The research will run until late 2020, with five major international public events (Prague, Wroclaw, Budapest, Bratislava and Brno) to take place throughout the duration of the project.

3. Ecology of Modern Firm: A Look into the Complex Structure of the Multinational Corporations

Among the audience, representatives of the corporate sector, experts, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises were present, as well as members of the media. These sessions gave GARI a platform, among others, to discuss the opportunities to collaborate and the use of the "Big and Complex Data" approach, as well as to focus on the potential impacts of digitalization on the future of Central Europe. ​

Meeting in Wroclaw

Hosted by Politechnika Wroclaw

On Tuesday, September 19th 2018 the Global Arena Research Institute organized an initial working meeting of the Strategic Grant of the International Visegrad Fund - V4 CARE-ARSEC(Computer Aided Reasoning in Assessing Regional Socio-economic Complexity). The internal working meeting took place in Wroclaw, in cooperation with the project partner - Politechnika Wroclaw.

​

The meeting was joined by representatives of all the project partners (Masaryk University, Brno, Kopint-Tárki Institute, Budapest, Slovak Foreign Policy Association, Bratislava and PolitechnikaWroclaw).

​

The participants agreed on the schedule of internal and public events related to the project and discussed the conceptual, methodological and other research issues. Strong emphasis was put on preparing the innovative conjunction of Big and Complex data and Complex Network analysis and the research on international relations and economy. The next event will be a public forum, held in Prague in early December 2018.

The world must establish a genuine dialogue between the most advanced technologies and artificial reasoning capabilities on the one hand, and the normative and critical capabilities of the social sciences on the other. We have reached the point where their mutual inspiration and cross-fertilization is a must.
